A type of fish, possibly a variant name for certain freshwater or river fish species in Africa or Asia.
Etymology uncertain; possibly from an African or Asian language. May be related to local fish names in regions where the species is found.
Many fish species around the world have multiple names in different languages, and English dictionaries can only capture a fraction—indigenous naming systems for river fish are incredibly rich.
